Johnson Controls to provide integrated facilities management services for Standard Chartered Bank in APAC

Johnson Controls is partnering with Standard Chartered Bank to provide facilities management services at more than 1,300 sites across APAC. Under a master service agreement, Johnson Controls will provide an integrated solution including facilities management, energy management, and workplace and project management services covering more than 11.5 million square feet.

The partnership will help Standard Chartered Bank achieve its goal of a more optimized and standardized operating model globally, and will allow the organization to focus on the strategic objectives of the bank versus day-to-day service delivery. Johnson Controls will utilize its regional capability, including the Global Workplace Knowledge center in Manila supported by an integrated management information system (MIS) solution, to deliver facility intelligence and enable informed business decisions. Johnson Controls will concentrate on delivering more productive, cost effective services for Standard Chartered Bank from the first year on.

“Our strong account leadership and service delivery capabilities will enable Standard Chartered Bank's staff to focus its attention on the bank's core business. This partnership demonstrates Johnson Controls' commitment to providing world class enterprise facilities management across Asia and worldwide,” said John Murphy, president, Johnson Controls Global WorkPlace Solutions.

The contract will see Johnson Controls delivering integrated services to Standard Chartered Bank offices, branches, ATMs, trading floors and key headquarters locations in 22 countries.

The partnership, which entered the first phase on July 1, is an example of Johnson Controls' focus on business growth and industry leadership in Asia as the company works toward opening its new corporate headquarters in Shanghai in 2016.
